"To resolve your complaint, we suggest:(1) We can replace/modify the double spade terminals here for the 8 pcs you've returned;(2) You need to modify your cabinet a bit by enlarging the cut-out for the drivers, as this driver doesn't fit "all" Carver productions.

As an alternative, we can also rebuild your existing drivers by transposing the cone, spider & voice coil from those WP-1220 into your old drivers. However, you need to also send us back your drivers."

so if iwere to buy eight, which ones would i want ? is there a preference? i was going to use an electronic x over with those new 60" ribbons the guy is selling in another thread. is honeycomb just that fad look, i would think the paper drivers would sound better, but i am open to sudjestion.

If your not using the passive crossover, you aren't tied to the honeycomb woofers. Go with the cones.

I got my replacement drivers about four years ago. they fit fine, but there were only two spade connectors on each driver, not four like the originals. I just soldered the wires to the single spade connectors and they work fine.

How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.

Hey Jim, it is of my stance that if they are selling OEM woofers, then they need to do just that. If their supplier makes a bad batch or ships them something that isn't correct? That's their problem. You ordered new, not rebuilt. Speakers are mechanical and mechanical things wear. For the price they are selling them for [2X what the price was 3 years ago], you deserve OEM.

Nothing less. Oh, they should also take down the woofers being advertised as OEM until they get the drivers corrected. Keep us informed and thanks for letting the Carver forum know that you have encountered an issue.
